The mainstream-heterodoxy divide in Swedish economics

Summary:
The mainstream-heterodoxy divide in Swedish economics In situations with a dominant style of thought and marginal heterodoxies, this creates an exclusionary mechanism that tends to favour the dominant style. I have shown how this is expressed in the analysed evaluation reports through the consensus on a disciplinary conception of quality that aligns with the disciplinary style of reasoning … Sometimes, reviewers are even explicit about work being outside of the mainstream as a sufficient argument against it, which amounts to a sort of pure boundary work that doesn’t spend time on elaborate justification.
